Probably not, or at least not without considerably more information.

Consider developing a miniature demonstration version of your problem: 
inputs, outputs and stylesheet, all stripped down to their bare 
essentials, demonstrating where it goes wrong. (See the list guidelines 
at http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html#posting.) This 
will help isolate and expose the issue so that someone new to the 
problem (or maybe even yourself) can diagnose it.

If this isn't practical (if larger files, for example, need to be 
exchanged) I'm afraid you may need to engage professional help. You may 
be able to find it by letting us know: there are readers of the list who 
might be willing to offer their services.

Or, of course, there are other options, particularly if Word2FO.xsl is 
supposed to be a supported product.

Good luck,
Wendell
